Lastly Nnooo took the risk and released it in Australia when so many other DSiWare developers ignore our fair land. Secondly it’s Australian made, so Aussie Aussie Aussie and all that. Firstly, it’s a great game and one of the first good games to hit DSiWare in the sea of crap. Pop Plus: Solo (Was 500 Points) – Yes we know it’s available on WiiWare and the App Store but we’re going to include it for three reasons. Why it should be on your 3DS: A cute and colourful title to rock along with, it hits all the right notes. This DSiWare version only has one ’area’ from the retail game but all the modes. This platformer has you jumping and sliding along and making some music with your fancy footwork. Maestro! Green Groove (Was 500 Points) – Haven’t heard of this one before? Neither did anyone at retail – which is a shame because Maestro certainly has his groove.

Why it should be on your 3DS: You could lie to your friends and say you’ve hacked your 3DS to have a NES game on it. Its classic NES style and hard as nails gameplay not only mean it looks like a NES game, but it also plays like one. The fact is that Dark Void Zero is a better game than Dark Void, the game it was meant to be a parody of. See what I did there?ĭark Void Zero (Was 500 Points) – Now we know this one is on Steam and the App Store but it was a DSiWare exclusive for a while. Why it should be on your 3DS: Great game, great Art Style. Yeah, it sounds as interesting as a box factory, but look at that episode of the Simpsons, that was hilarious! Use the touch screen to cut up paper to create boxes. Why it should be on your Nintendo 3DS: There are approximately a billion puzzlers on DSiWare, this is one of the good ones.Īrt Style: BOXLIFE (Was 500 Points) – Another Art Style game, but don’t be fooled – they’re simple and clean but great fun. Though you really should track down Zoo Keeper, that game is the bomb. So if you didn’t import it, you can still pick up this gem.

You get most of the game that was in the retail version except for the online multiplayer mode. Like it says, it’s a little bit of Planet Puzzle League. We’ve avoided ports and games available on other consoles as much as possible.Ī Little Bit of… Puzzle League (Was 500 Points) – Nintendo never offered Planet Puzzle League on the Australian market so this was the next best thing. Note: We’ve included games here that are mainly exclusive to DSiWare, unique and different to anything out there. To quote a great man, DSiWare is like a box of chocolates. With the eShop launching next week and Nintendo making the bulk of the DSiWare library available on the 3DS you’ll again be hard pressed to figure out what’s good and what’s not. However like the WiiWare service, finding out what’s good and what’s not is next to impossible. Which is a real shame because hidden away in that thing called the ’DSi Shopping Channel’ are some real gems. The Nintendo DSiWare service has been a complete farce, the way Nintendo handled it from day dot has been one mis-step after the next. Never sampled the delicious treats that are DSiWare? Yeah, we thought so.
